A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded to your device when you visit a website and allows the site to retrieve certain information from your browser, such as your preferences. Betano uses cookies on its site, and information about their use is in the Privacy Policy.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser when you visit it. On subsequent visits, the browser returns that information to the site, allowing it to retrieve previously saved data, such as the language or preferences you have selected.
A cookie is not a program: it cannot run or access other files on your device. It only contains the data that the site has saved in it.
Difference Between Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
Cookies are distinguished by how long they remain on the device. A session cookie is automatically deleted when you close the browser, while a persistent cookie remains until its expiration date or until you manually delete it.
There is also a distinction between first-party cookies, placed by the site you are visiting, and third-party cookies, placed by another domain through that site.
How to Control Cookies from Your Browser
You can block or delete cookies stored on your device from your browser settings. All major browsers include a privacy section where these options are managed.
- Open your browser settings.
- Go to the privacy and security section.
- Find the cookies and site data section.
- Choose to block cookies or delete those already stored.
Deleting cookies also removes saved preferences and logs you out of active sessions, so you will have to log in again to the sites you use. If you block all cookies, some functions that depend on them, such as keeping your session open, will stop working.
